66 Days To Habit Automaticity
- It takes about 66 days of consistent practice for a new routine to become automatic.
- Robin Sharma explains automaticity as the point where a habit becomes easier to do than not to do.
Follow The Three-Phase Process
- Persist through three phases: destruction, installation, and integration to form a habit.
- Stay with a new routine for the full 66 days rather than quitting when it feels hard.
Initial Phase Feels Like Destruction
- The first 22 days feel like tearing down old patterns and can be experienced as destruction.
- This phase is necessary to clear old foundations before building better habits.
